"At least six members have written to the Metropolitan Club's board of directors to object to Blanche's joining, saying he's too polarizing and has politicized the Justice Department."
""He is targeting a lot of people, and the Justice Department is targeting a lot of the members of the club, like judges, nonprofit organizations and universities.""
""The Trump administration is at war with most American institutions, and so the people who represent those institutions, many of them are at the club.""
""If he's in there, given that the Justice Department is so combative and aggressive, this is not the kind of tone that we want.""
Todd Blanche is encountering significant resistance in his application to join the Metropolitan Club, a prestigious private club in Washington. Despite having influential sponsors, at least six current members have objected to his membership, citing concerns over his polarizing nature and the politicization of the Justice Department. Members fear that his presence would disrupt the congenial atmosphere of the club, as many members are connected to institutions targeted by the DOJ. The objections highlight the tension between Blanche's legal work and the interests of club members.
